Guest guest Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 good evening, My son is 15 and has Aperger syndrome- about 6 months ago I started him on Gabe 750mg per day. Within two weeks I saw amazing results. His anxiety was all but gone. He can now go places in cars,engage with friends at new places. He has become a social butterfly. I am not sure what amount you would give a four tear old but I highly recommend it. Have a great evening Tonya Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing so gentle as real strength.

Dear Listmates, I have not been posting for a long time. My son was on baclofen which is a drug, and a derivative of GABA. It worked very well to control some GI problems my son has (what a horrendous drug...). He had very bad side effects on the drug(lost eye contact). After I stopped the drug, thank God, the side effect was gone. He is 4 years old and weights 36 pounds. How much GABA could I give? what is the best way to give it? is there any bad side effect from it? the purpose of the GABA here would be to reduce muscle spasm in stomach at night. Also, please share if you saw good results with it.Thank you. mom of , autism and bad GI issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 GABA is a wonderful supplement in our house! I give my 7 year old (weighs 60 lbs.)500 mg in AM, 250 mg in mid day, 500 mg at bedtime. Very neuro-calming, but haven't heard about it reducing muscle spasms in the stomach. I've been told that you should start out low and give it till it causes drowsiness. Kirkman sells a 250 mg capsule. Taurine is a good supplement for the GI; helps my sons' digestion, and is also neuro-calming. Have you tried digestive enzymes?
